Ok, I got it.  It's Slur_engraver::listen_slur which is available in two
overloaded versions.  Renaming the two-argument version to something
else brings g++-4.8 back into understanding.  Gratuitous complexity.
I should have known better than that.

Admittedly, that was rather ugly.  A useful error message would have
been nice, but instead GCC resolved something else prematurely and then
got stuck.  Or so.  At any rate, it's reasonably easy to get this out of
the way.
